Brightspace
Brightspace is the university's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). All students will be able to access Brightspace once they have been enrolled on their units/modules.
After listening to what students and staff want from their Learning Environment, D2L's Brightspace was chosen as the best product. We believe that it offers an enhanced online learning experience and that you will enjoy the new features that the software will provide.
Resit information for students is available here. We have also prepared information on how to blog in Mahara using Brightspace.
How to use Brightspace
Support for users of Brightspace is available in the Getting online resource of our Essential Student Skills suite. Guidance for those new to the learning environment includes a system checker, recommended resources and a virtual tour of the interface where areas of the screen are embedded with further information.
If you have any questions please feel free to email studentengagement@uhi.ac.uk.
